Behind the Scenes with Ashley

Our July 2010 cover model is Ashley from Lenexa, Kansas. She won this month's cover by taking first place at our Cycle Connections Cover Model Search on Thursday, June 3, at FUEL American Made Bar & Grill in Overland Park, Kansas.

She is an orthodontist assistant, and when asked about her ambitions, Ashley said 'All I have to do is look around to find ambition. Life is only as great as we make it, so I try to keep that in mind every day when life randomly throws us curveballs.'

As far as hobbies go, Ashley told us she enjoys anything outdoors, including fishing, riding horses and going to the lake. When asked about turn-ons, Ashley said 'I work in the dental field so of course I love a man with a great smile, and nothing melts my heart more than a man that’s not afraid to take me by the hand and show me his world, so to speak.' When it come to turnoffs, she told us she doesn't really care for tattoos, long hair and cocky attitudes.

I asked Ashley how she would describe her personality to which she said 'I would describe my personality as definitely reserved until I get to know you. Good friends are hard to come by, so I pick and choose carefully, and the ones I love I would do anything in the world for.'

Just for fun, we asked Ashley to share some of her favorite things with our readers:

Favorite food: Italian.

Favorite actresses: Julia Roberts.

Favorite movie: My Best Friend's Wedding.

Favorite artist/band: I listen to all music, but I LOVE country.

Do you have pets? Yes. I have a cat, so for all of you that now want to call me the cat lady I hope you get a hairball. Ha, Ha!

Are you into motorcycles? Yes, I enjoy riding with my boyfriend on his Harley.

Do you have any tattoos? No. I change my mind too much to want anything on my body forever.
